Welcome back, Folks!
Today is Patch Tuesday for September, 2022. This month brings new major versions of iOS, tvOS, watchOS, and impending new versions of Windows 11 and Windows 10. That’s on top of the 120 major hacks, and over 150 application updates this month. Even with all that, it’s actually a pretty light month, with only about 3 GB of updates for most users.

75% of retailers and 52% of supply chains report being hacked in 2021. Those numbers don’t reflect well on the security state of the nation. 🙁
Patreon fired their entire security department. What this means for you: if you’re still using Patreon, now is the best time to stop. The Zoom installer can get you hacked. Facebook and Twitter will soon be shunning the CIA. (/sarc)
After updates last month, MS Office would crash if you floated your mouse over Outlook contacts. The version was pulled, but a new version wasn’t released until today. Microsoft released a virus definitions update that falsely identified every Electron app as malware on September 4th (the Labor Day holiday weekend). While it took only 13 hours before they released a fix, it was 13 hours too long for many who thought their browsers had been compromised. Edge 105 wouldn’t start if you had policies enabled relating to data reporting. Completely removing the policies was the only workaround. Tabs are coming to Windows Explorer in a “Moment.” I think they should probably call them Hot Flashes. Or Whims.
The only significant outages this month were Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365.
End-of-life (EOL) means end-of-life. Don’t expect vendors to fix critical vulnerabilities in EOL hardware or software. Usually. This is a win for Apple. This isn’t. And this is just sad.
Google finished their purchase of Mandiant. Even Lloyd’s of London is taking a page out of the terrorism handbook. The IoT (Internet of Things) is far less secure than they claim. In an approach that could only be described as inevitable, the anti-cheat software used to prevent cheating in a video game is being abused to hack computers with it installed.
The concept of software “permissions” is fatally flawed. While this article only demonstrates how it effected the clipboard, it’s a timely reminder to keep your camera and mic physically disabled whenever possible.
When the Federal government has no respect for the law, is it any surprise that law enforcement are tracking you without warrants. Duh.
Now for the good news:
While there’s not a lot of good news in tech, we can at least have some fun with it. Check out these barcode ponies.
Let’s Get Busy
Now back to our regularly scheduled program.
Patch Tuesday is about average this month. The typical computer should see roughly 3 GB in updates today. Let’s get started.
Microsoft released updates to address 64 vulnerabilities in .NET and Visual Studio, .NET Framework, Azure Arc, Cache Speculation, HTTP.sys, Microsoft Dynamics, Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based), Microsoft Graphics Component, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office SharePoint, Microsoft Office Visio, Microsoft Windows ALPC, Microsoft Windows Codecs Library, Network Device Enrollment Service (NDES), SPNEGO Extended Negotiation, Visual Studio Code, Windows Common Log File System Driver, Windows Credential Roaming Service, Windows Defender, Windows Distributed File System (DFS), Windows DPAPI (Data Protection Application Programming Interface), Windows Enterprise App Management, Windows Event Tracing, Windows Group Policy, Windows IKE Extension, Windows Kerberos, Windows Kernel, Windows LDAP – Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, Windows ODBC Driver, Windows OLE, Windows Photo Import API, Windows Print Spooler Components, Windows Remote Access Connection Manager, Windows Remote Procedure Call, Windows TCP/IP, Windows Transport Security Layer (TLS), and MSRT (~3 GB). This includes security updates. A reboot is required.
Apple released updates for iOS 12.5.6 and 16.0, iPadOS 15.6.1, macOS Big Sur 11.7, macOS Monterey 12.5.1 and 12.6, Safari 15.6.1 and 16.0. This includes security updates. Use Apple Software Update to install these updates. A reboot is required.
iOS 12.5.6 and 16.0 are security updates. Use Settings, General, Software Update to install the most current update.
iPadOS 15.6.1 is a security update. Use Settings, General, Software Update to install the most current update.
tvOS 16.0 is a security update. Use System, Software Update to install the most current version.
watchOS 9.0 is a security update. Use the Watch app on your iPhone to install the most current version.
Google Chrome OS 105.0.5195.112 is a security update. Use Menu, Help, About to install the most current version. A reboot is required.
Don’t forget to check your mobile devices, too! Many updates will also apply to your tablet, phone, kindle or television – so check your device-appropriate App Store and install updates.
Important Notes
Everything above this section should be checked by everyone on every computer. Chances are good that close to every single computer you touch will be affected by those updates. This is not the case with the items below, though you should still check each line item below to see if it applies to software you have installed.
The new versions of Windows 10 and Windows 11 are expected within the next month. This release is the first in Microsoft’s new “Moments” behavior. We knew this would eventually happen last year when they threw in the towel on their 6-month OS release cadence and switch to a 1-year cadence, then last month announced that they would instead release a new major build every 3 years but release smaller feature updates (called “Moments”) whenever they wanted to. I think they missed their chance to call them “Whims”. If their recent cadence changes demonstrate anything, it’s that it’s all on a Windows Whim anyway. 🙂
The release of macOS Monterey (12.x) means that macOS Mojave (10.14) and older are no longer supported. If you can not install at least macOS Catalina (10.15) on your Mac then you should immediately remove it from the Internet and use it offline only. It will no longer receive patches or updates and can now no longer be secured.
The now-current release of the Windows 10 (v21H2) is very large so will take a long time to download on slower connections. Windows 10 pushes you to get the latest Windows 10 release every 12 months and only supports any consumer builds for 18 months. If you don’t let it finish and you’re on a slow connection, this process will kill your Internet performance forever. If you don’t have the bandwidth to download the bits, I’m happy to provide loaner USB drives to our local clients, or, if you prefer to have me mail it to you please contact me for information.
The now-current release of the Windows 11 (v21H2) is very large so will take a long time to download on slower connections. Windows 11 pushes you to get the latest Windows 11 release every 12 months and only supports any consumer builds for 24 months. If you don’t let it finish and you’re on a slow connection, this process will kill your Internet performance forever. If you don’t have the bandwidth to download the bits, I’m happy to provide loaner USB drives to our local clients, or, if you prefer to have me mail it to you please contact me for information.
Windows 11 is still very young so I encourage you to wait a few more months before you consider switching to it.
Please remember that while I list many different applications within these updates, most people should ONLY install updates for a program if they already have a previous version of that program installed.
It is essential to maintain all the applications you have installed on your computer, but often you can minimize the time investment and the potential for exploitation simply by uninstalling software you do not need or use, reducing the attack surface. This includes “free” applications like Avast, OpenOffice, and games you do not actually play.
Also note that using the applications own “check for updates” function, when available, will best preserve your current settings, and often avoid any crapware that might come with a fresh installer. Use this option if it’s available to you.
Finally, if you’re sick of doing this all yourself, let me! Call or email me any time, and we can set you up with subscription SaferPC updates which will be installed each month whenever necessary. Click, call or email for more details:
